Can you get the amount of UDP buffer space used?

[drathnow]

Is there any way to get the amount of buffer space used on a datagram
socket? I have an application that handles incoming UDP packets and it
slows down when the incoming traffic gets pretty busy. I would like to
figure out how many UDP packets are queued or at least how much of the
ReceiveBuffer space is being used.

Thanks,
Dave.

P.S. I'm working with Java 1.4.2 on Windoz.

AFAIK there is no way to do this from Java, however from a native
method you might use FIONREAD to see how much data is currently queued
for reading from the socket descriptor.
